Volume 2 Monk Chapter 38 Senior Brother Tang Jing
"There's a business!"
The short young man threw aside the broken pot in his hand, and when he saw an incense burner and a broken bowl in Jiang Ping's hand, his face deliberately drooped, and he was embarrassed, "You said that I can give you a cheaper price if you like whichever one you like, but these two are my ancestors' favorite incense burners and purple gold bowls, and I don't plan to sell them." ”
Jiang Ping had a smile on his face, the short young man's routine was nothing more than wanting to raise the price. But I didn't get much money from Steward Zhang of Taihe Lou, so I couldn't waste it all here, what if I ran into more treasures in Maple Leaf City?
"Say, if there is more, you don't want to do less, but if you want to slaughter me, I won't agree. Jiang Ping put the incense burner in his hand back to its original place, with the posture of a trader.
"Eight hundred taels! Not a single point is missing!" The short young man's eyes gurgled, he stretched out his thumb and index finger, and made a look of pain, "I don't know if my ancestors will blame me for not being angry when they hear that I have sold the ancestral treasure!" The short young man said, but he was thinking in his heart, "The famous Kuo Shao Gong Ming will give you an errand runner, and it is not much to ask you for eight hundred taels! Hey, I should mention two thousand taels, and if you bargain for more than one thousand taels, you can sell it for more than one thousand taels." ”
Greed is in nature, O man. Only by controlling greed can we control ourselves.
Jiang Ping's smiling expression disappeared, and your little face was full of your really ruthless look, "You really treat me as a big wrongdoer, these two inconspicuous things dare to be called treasures, if they are really treasures, how can you sell them at a low price, if they are not treasures, how can you sell them so high! Happily, tell me a real price, if I think the price is fair, I will take it, if it doesn't work, my silver is not blown by the wind." ”
The corners of Gong Ming's mouth twitched, "Your silver didn't come from the wind, it was knocked in Taihelou in the name of the Great Immortal Master, and I don't know if Zhang Guan regretted it afterwards." ”
Seeing Jiang Ping so resolute, the short young man didn't know if he was pretending to be true or not, after all, such a child, there should be no such acting skills, he gritted his teeth, as if Jiang Ping had dug up a piece of his meat, and said: "Little boy, you can take five hundred taels, otherwise I won't sell it." ”
Jiang Ping pointed to the broken bowl next to the incense burner, "Connect it for a total of five hundred taels, wrap it for me." ”
The short young man's face changed, as if his father had died again, and he hurriedly held the bowl in his arms, "Little boy, no, this bowl is a baby!
After sending Jiang Ping and Gong Ming away, the short young man's face changed from humble pain to ecstasy, "Haha, a few days ago, I collected two waste products from Liu Yuzi, which cost me five taels of silver, and today I sold them for a net profit of four hundred and ninety-five taels, and sure enough, as my father said, if you look at the right person and slaughter it, you will definitely be able to make a fortune." ”
Out of the store, Jiang Ping walked back with the wrapped treasure, and when he returned to the peach blossom tree, Jiang Ping carefully took out the two objects, took out the animal hair brush and vegetable oil from the package, and cleaned them carefully. These two cleaning items were given by the short youth, worthless things, and the short young man naturally didn't care about them.
"Little Immortal Master, this is really a treasure? I see that this incense burner is not much different from the old ones I use at home, except for the old ones, have we been deceived by that kid?" Gong Ming saw that Jiang Ping was holding two small objects like treasures, but he only felt that these two things were not so valuable.
"You know what. Jiang Ping cleared out both items.
"Gong Ming, you are the first person I met in Maple Leaf City, I have done everything for me today, I have it in my heart, this is a jade cicada, there was originally a pair, and the other one I gave to the person who saved my life, I will give it to you today. If I succeed in my studies, if you still want to follow me, I will definitely not treat you badly. If you don't follow, it doesn't matter, I have an elixir that can also help you break through the bottleneck of martial arts. ”
Took out a jade bottle from his arms, and a delicate gray spirit pill rolled down in his hand, this is the Buyuan Pill refined by his father Jiang Bu, and there are not a few left in the porcelain bottle, through a simple understanding, this is similar to the Shenwu Kingdom, the level of martial arts cultivation is the same, Gong Ming is a third-level martial artist, and the Buyuan Pill is of great benefit to him.
"Remember, you can't take it whole, you need to divide it into ten parts, and meditate and refine it after each swallow to help you improve your skills. Jiang Ping looked at the porcelain vase in his hand and sighed, "I only have three left, this is what my father refined, so I won't give them all to you, if I can refine other pills, I will give them to you then." ”
Gong Ming's eyes were red, his breathing was short, except for his mother, no one could treat him so sincerely, he really felt that the little immortal master in front of him was really thinking about himself, and even gave himself the pill. He knelt on the ground on his knees, "Little Immortal Master, from now on, my Gong Ming will be your servant, as long as you say a word, I can do anything." ”
Jiang Ping looked at Gong Ming who was kneeling on the ground, and there was no big touch in his heart. I don't know where I can go in the future, and the monks who cultivate the truth may not all be so easy to talk to. Even Hongyi Hongguang has his own little abacus and will not really think about himself.
After sending Gong Ming away, Jiang Ping took a serious look at the two treasures that had just been polished.
Three-legged incense burner, let's call it that for the time being, anyway, I don't know what the specific name is.
The three legs of the incense burner are three unknown four-legged beasts standing against the body of the furnace, the beast is extraordinarily strong, and the strong body is not easy to provoke at a glance. The round furnace body is carved with flowers, the two side ears are actually two phoenixes lying on the furnace body, the phoenix tail is connected to the bottom of the beast, the phoenix head looks back slightly, opens its mouth wide, seems to be scolding the bottom of the beast, the bronze phoenix body is shining, and the feathers on the body are visible.
Especially the two eyes, like two real phoenix eyes, they didn't dare to look at them directly.
As everyone knows, the phoenix is the king of birds, and it is the supreme bird in the world, but it is not it that stands on the top of the furnace, but a Dapeng! Dapeng stands on the top of the furnace, the wings are closed on the body, the feathers hang on the top of the furnace, and the bird's head looks at the world, so it is not mighty!
But!
Jiang Ping spent five hundred taels of silver to buy not it, but its unsightly broken bowl.
The broken bowl is actually not broken, because Jiang Ping found that the reason why the broken bowl is broken is because the bowl is wrapped in a layer of iron! The iron is rusty, so it naturally looks extremely broken. If it weren't for Jiang Ping's black and white ball sensing it, Jiang Ping wouldn't have found out that this was a treasure!
"It's definitely not an iron bowl, there must be another mystery inside!" Jiang Ping looked around, no one was there, but he was not at ease, and took the two treasures to the house.
The people who live in the small courtyard of Taihelou are either rich or expensive, and the idlers are not even qualified to come in, and it is an absolutely safe place, Jiang Ping is still not at ease, so he moved to the house.
Jiang Ping took out a dagger, carefully removed the rust, and then skillfully picked open the iron sheet wrapped in the broken bowl, for fear of piercing the bowl inside, the small hands were full of green tendons, and the serious expression on his face was hard to imagine the expression of a ten-year-old child.
"Immortal Master, Immortal Master Jiang, are you here? Suddenly, there was the voice of Steward Zhang outside.
Jiang Ping hurriedly buried the broken bowl and incense burner in the package, tied the package, and cleaned up before going out.
Sure enough, Steward Zhang stood at the door of the small courtyard dressed in white, chatting with a young man in white beside him with a smile on his face. Even if it is Steward Zhang, when there are people in the small courtyard, he cannot enter without authorization, and he needs to call Jiang Ping out loudly.
"What a handsome young man!" Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment when he saw the young man in white, and suddenly felt that the most beautiful man in the world was nothing more than that.
The young man saw Jiang Ping walking out of the house, and saluted with both hands, "This is Jiang Ping's junior brother, right?" The breeze was warm and gentle when he spoke, like a breeze blowing on his face, which made people feel refreshed.
"Little junior brother?" Jiang Ping pointed to his nose with a puzzled expression.
The young man smiled: "It's not surprising that Senior Brother Jiang doesn't know me, my surname is Tang Mingjing, and I am the third disciple of Hongyi's mentor, this time I will take you back to Qingshimen in the name of my mentor and send you to Master Wang's door." ”
Jiang Ping suddenly realized, and asked instead: "Hongyi Hongguang, two uncles, ......?"
"Oh, you said that Master and Uncle Hongguang, they have some things to deal with, and they really can't spare time, so they sent me to send the little junior brother back to the Qingshi Gate when they met me in Maple Leaf City. Tang Jing put his left hand behind his back, his right hand in front of him, his body shook slightly as he spoke, his white robe swayed in the wind, and the end was extremely graceful.
"I see, what's the matter with the two uncles?
Tang Jing looked Jiang Ping up and down, covered his mouth and chuckled, "The strength of the two of us is not worth mentioning in front of the master and uncle, or don't make trouble for the two old people, let's set off back to the Qingshi Gate quickly, the senior brother has low skills, I'm afraid I will have to wait until dawn to get to the Qingshi Gate." ”
His meaning is very simple, the two of us have low skills, don't be embarrassed, or go back to Qingshimen honestly, so as not to add to the chaos. Although the words are euphemistic, anyone can understand that it refers to Jiang Ping's poor skills, which is a burden.
Jiang Ping didn't care, he was not a cultivator in the first place, and he was young, so it was normal to be almost there. nodded, took the clothes handed by Steward Zhang, went back to the house to change, took off his shabby clothes and put on new clothes, and found that the clothes were very decent, and there was a set of changes. Jiang Ping admired in his heart, Taihelou is really powerful, how long has he been here, Taihelou has already made two sets of clothes according to his figure.
Bidding farewell to Steward Zhang, Jiang Ping sat on Tang Jing's long sword and flew away.
